Great task with great result. Voter turn-out needs to improve. Thank you, Kate, for the information. 🤔👋Bravo, also to Karen and Raniere, for putting all the years in the council.
Lex and Paula, I'm full of hopes. Of course, Lex isn't new in the team. To you all (not excluding Cedric, Konrad and those who're continuing: Amy, Mesfin, Elizabeth, Joslynn and Juan) my good wishes for the new year and throughout your tenures. Chris.
